SANFORD - Trayvon Martin's parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed.

Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today.

As usual with today’s so-called “reporting” one has to read between the lines. Nowhere is the settlement amount actually disclosed. The reporter wants you to believe, as well as the lawyer, that the settlement is for a million... or maybe more; but it could be $10k. This is all legal theater.

“I dont see how the homeowners association could be liable for this.”

Possibly by tacitly allowing Zimmerman to operate on their behalf and on their grounds as a “watch captain” they could be liable for a “wrongful death” if that’s what is decided. Sleazy lawyers find ways to sue everyone and since the Homeowners assoc probably has insurance its worth it to them to make this go away.

I remember when FR frowned upon racism. When I read comments like this I can’t help but wonder if there are plants here.

People may believe that Zimmerman was defending himself but parents being upset that their son is dead is not a criminal act nor something to be laughed at. If it were ever to happen to a child of yours your opinion might be different.

Ah, wouldn’t you wait, if you were representing the HOA, until the criminal trial was settled as it is quite possible the self avowed “gangsta, nigga” was the guilty party and ZERO dollars needed to be paid out?

.....”parents being upset that their son is dead is not a criminal act nor something to be laughed at”......

Well that would depend on the parents wouldn’t it?...... This is blood money on the back of their son...and they started this from the get go as a means of monetary gain. I have little if any sympathy for these two.

“People may believe that Zimmerman was defending himself but parents being upset that their son is dead is not a criminal act nor something to be laughed at.”

You are correct. Having said that, the system that allows this shakedown is corrupt.

I suspect that a settlement was reached because it has become so obvious that the case against Zimmerman is falling apart to the point of non-existence, which is what the initial police investigation found.

All this has been hyped up for the purposes of this lawsuit and to gin up support for President Obama’s reelection.

We have to go to a colorblind society. This is being prevented by the race hustlers and, particularly, the MSM.

All of these actions pushes us closer and closer to a violent confrontation when the majority finally find their persecution to be too much. I see cracks occurring in the MSM and in public discourse. The emperor wears no clothes, and a few people are willing to talk about it.

Comments on the criminality of the black urban underclass are more and more common. Everyone knows that they are true, but the MSM and the left has made it taboo to mention them. That taboo is failing.

We live in perilous times.

....”for producing a violent parasite on society they have been given possibly one million dollars.”.....

That was the intention from the get go. .....having followed this from the early beginnings they lied thru their teeth with the very first police report...and backtracked from then on after family member ,(Lawyer), painted a pie in the sky for them.

FWIW, I recall that Trayvon’s parents were suing the HOA, and Travelers Insurance, even though Travelers was not the company that was insuring the HOA at the time of Trayvon’s death.

Travelers filed a suit to fight that they were responsible to pay the Martin’s, and have the portion of the suit against Travelers tossed since they were not the Insurance Company at the time of his death. Travelers, IIRC didn’t beomve the HOA’s insurer until April. I have no idea how it worked out for Travelers.

I apologize for knowing more about the issue than others here, apparently. 'NO_LIMIT_N*GGA' was Trayvon's Twitter account name, chosen by HIM not me. What's in a name? Beating upon someone and not stopping (no limit) until that someone shoots you in the heart.
